Abstract
This article examines the influence of psychosocial factors such as stress, fatigue, and work overload, among others, on traffic accidents involving uniformed personnel of the Comando Operativo de Seguridad Ciudadana (COSEC 2) of the Bogotá Metropolitan Police, during the period 2021-2022. The methodology employed allowed for the description and analysis of the characteristics of this population; data was collected through surveys, interviews, and observations, and included data collection, coding, and analysis, as well as the presentation of results. The approach employed was mixed within a descriptive research study. Various data collection techniques were used, such as surveys of COSEC 2 uniformed personnel involved in traffic accidents during 2022, and analysis of statistical data providedby the Bogotá Traffic Section, 2021-2022.
